From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

A regular square pyramid has base edges of length 16 and its lateral faces are inclined 30° to the base of the pyramid. What is

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

(1) 13.86 units.

(2) 1182.72 cubic units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a regular square pyramid has base edges of length 16 and its lateral faces are inclined 30° to the base of the pyramid.

(1) We can find height of pyramid using tan.

$\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$

The length of opposite side will half the length of square base.

$\frac{16}{2}=8$

$\text{tan}(30^{\circ})=\frac{8}{h}$

$h=\frac{8}{\text{tan}(30^{\circ})}$

$h=13.8564064605420367$

$h\approx 13.86$

Therefore, the height of the pyramid will be 13.86 units.

(2). We know that volume of pyramid is 1/3 the product of base area and height.

$V=\frac{1}{3}*bh$

$V=\frac{1}{3}*16*16*13.86$

$V=\frac{1}{3}*3548.16$

$V=1182.72$

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid would be 1182.72 cubic units.

White raven [17]

Answer: -23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the value of m, all we have to do is to plug m into the expression and solve.

-23(-38+39) [parenthesis]

-23(1) [multiply]

-23

Now, we know that the expression is -23 when m=-38.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The answer is 70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Given</u>;</h3>

The area of therectangular billboard covered by the ribbon was approximately 4200 square feet
The width of the billboard was approximately 60 feet.

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find</u>;</h3>

The height of this billboard = ?

<h3><u>Formula</u>;</h3>

Area = Width × Height

Here, We know the area so,

Area = Width × Height

Height = Area ÷ Width

H = 4200 ÷ 60 feet

H = 70 feet

Thus, The height of the billboard is 70 feet
